My property lawyer in Snaresbrook is not listed on the Barclays Approved Panel. Is it possible for me to use my prefered solicitor even though they are excluded from the Barclays panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
The limited options open to you here include:
- Complete the purchase with your preferred Snaresbrook lawyers but Barclays will need to instruct a solicitor on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional total legal fees as well as cause frustration.
- Find an alternative practitioner to to deal with the purchase, not forgetting to check they are on the Barclays panel
What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Snaresbrook
There are two types of lawyers who can execute conveyancing in Snaresbrook namely CLC regulated conveyancers or solicitors. The two can handle conveyancing services that you need to complete the sale or purchase of property. Both are obliged to perform Snaresbrook conveyancing on similar standards and guidelines so you may be sure that your conveyancing will be professionally conducted and that the requirements and procedures will be accurately adhered to.
I am being advised by my conveyancer that restrictive coveneant insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Snaresbrook?
The right level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Accord Mortgages Ltd and Barnsley Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Leeds Building Society are being pedantic. The Snaresbrook solicitor who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Leeds Building Society are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Leeds Building Society have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Leeds Building Society have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Leeds Building Society may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home can not be found. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Snaresbrook 5 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?

I decided to have a survey done on a house in Snaresbrook in advance of instructing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will not give a loan on such a home.
It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements from Halifax. If you contact us we can look into this further with the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Snaresbrook. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
